Chapter 139 The boss’ company is out of money!
After spending two days in the imperial capital and at Xishan Hot Spring with Xiao Chen and the others, Su Chen prepared to set off for the Magic City.

Pei Rang had promised to go back to the Magic City to listen to his work report. If he didn't go back, Pei Rang would probably have to fly to the Imperial Capital to invite him back.

At this time, Su Chen and Chen Fei were packing their clothes. After going to the Magic City this time, they would not return to the Imperial City in a short time.

After finishing the work in Shanghai, the Chinese New Year will be almost here. I have promised Su's father that I will go home for the New Year, and I plan to fly back directly from Shanghai when the time comes.

"Sir, Ms. Zong Xinyao is here!" Jiang Hui trotted up from downstairs.

"Hmm? She really knows how to pick the time." Su Chen guessed the purpose of her visit, which was nothing more than wanting to report to him about the recent achievements.

Of course you have to meet him, and it won’t discourage others’ enthusiasm.

After checking the time, he realized it was still a bit early for departure, so he turned to look at Jiang Hui and said, "Take her to the living room. I'll change my clothes and come right over!"

After changing into casual clothes, Su Chen gave Chen Fei a few instructions and asked him to move his luggage directly to the car after packing, and then walked towards the reception room downstairs.

As soon as I walked into the reception room, I saw Zong Xinyao playing with her mobile phone leisurely. There was a stack of folders on the table. It seemed that she was well prepared.

"Boss!" Seeing Su Chen's figure out of the corner of her eye, Zong Xinyao quickly put down her phone, stood up and called respectfully.

Su Chen waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so formal.

"You really know how to pick the time. If it was an hour later, you would have to come to the Magic City to find me." Su Chen said jokingly.

"Hehe~ I called President Pei two days ago. I knew you were going back to Shanghai today, so I chose this time!" Zong Xinyao smiled cunningly.

"Huh? Why did you call him?" Su Chen asked curiously. Ever since Zong Xinyao was sent here to set up the Hanhai Group, she basically never returned to Yunmengze.

Even the previous batch of employees were retained by Zong Xinyao to serve as middle and senior management of Hanhai Group.

Because of this matter, Pei Rang even called him to complain.

"The company is holding an annual meeting, so they wanted to ask me and the management of Hanhai Group if we wanted to attend. But Pei Rang rejected me outright, saying that Yunmengze is holding an annual meeting, so why are you from Hanhai joining in the fun? I'm so pissed!"

Su Chen was also amused by Zong Xinyao.

In fact, Su Chen also understood her thoughts. After all, she had worked in Yunmengze for such a long time and had contributed a lot to the company. Although she was no longer a member of Yunmengze Capital, Yunmengze was still her mother's home after all.

Now even if I want to go back to my "hometown" to attend the annual meeting, I'm not allowed. It's really difficult.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business! You've told me so much, isn't it just to pave the way for what's coming next?" Su Chen didn't want to play Tai Chi with her anymore, so he directly exposed Zong Xinyao's little thoughts.

Zong Xinyao looked more serious after hearing this, and handed the folder on the table to Su Chen, "Boss, this is the result of our catering company in the past month."

After Su Chen took the folder, he continued, "After everyone's consultation, the catering brand was named "Yangcun". As of today, there are a total of 46 stores in first-tier cities such as the Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Pengcheng, of which 20 are franchise stores."

"The spokespersons for Yangcun are Deng Chao and Chen He. They basically didn't spend any money, so it can be considered as free endorsement."

"In less than a month since its opening last month, Yangcun's net revenue has reached 82 million yuan, the market response has been very good, and the rate of repeat customers has reached 95%!"

"This rate of repeat customers is a miracle for the restaurant industry."

"I believe the net profit this month can reach at least 150 million!" Zong Xinyao said confidently.

Su Chen looked at the revenue details on the document and asked in confusion: "Xinyao, does the net profit you mentioned include the 20 stores that Sicong and his team have joined?"

Zong Xinyao shook her head slightly and said, "Not really. I'm not very clear about their specific profits."

Su Chen nodded slightly. If that was the case, he was quite satisfied with the results submitted by Zong Xinyao.

The 26 directly-owned stores had a monthly revenue of 82 million, which means that the net profit of each store was just over 3 million, and the daily profit was nearly 100,000.

This is just the beginning, and I believe the profits will only increase in the future.

"Well, let's find some time to talk to Sicong and the others about this matter. Let's summarize each other's experiences and see if we can find some details that neither of us knows about!"

"Also, as for the tax payment, please let them know when the time comes. I don't want to hear any negative information."

After all, it is a chain model now. If there is a problem in any environment and it affects everyone's interests, the tight control measures should be put on everyone from time to time.

"Um~ Boss, don't we need some reasonable tax avoidance in terms of taxation? According to preliminary calculations, we can save at least hundreds of millions of taxes every year." Zong Xinyao couldn't help but remind him.

Su Chen's calm gaze fell on Zong Xinyao, which frightened her.

"I know you are doing this for the benefit of the company, and your intention is good, but you should pay whatever taxes you should pay. If I wanted to save this little money, I would not have registered the company in China when I first registered it."

Zong Xinyao nodded heavily upon hearing this, "I understand, boss!"

She now understood that her boss would not take these trivial things seriously.

"Hmm~" Su Chen put down the document in his hand, smiled and said jokingly: "I have finished the work report. If there is nothing else, I will leave!"

After saying that, Su Chen made a gesture to get up.

Seeing that Su Chen was really about to leave, he quickly said, "Boss, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Su Chen asked pretending to be confused. In fact, he had already guessed what Zong Xinyao wanted to tell him, which was nothing more than wanting to hold an annual meeting for the Hanhai Group.

Otherwise, Zong Xinyao would not have told him that he was rejected from attending the Yunmengze Capital Annual Meeting in Magic City. It is very likely that the rejection was discussed by Zong Xinyao and Pei Rang in order to get Su Chen to agree.

After all, Hanhai Group has only been established for a month or two, which is too short a time, so there is basically no need for an annual meeting.

As expected, Zong Xinyao stood up and said, "Boss, I also want to hold an annual meeting!"

Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly, but it was fleeting.
"Hanhai Group is holding an annual meeting? Give me a reason to agree!"

Zong Xinyao took a deep breath, "Boss, I want to unite the entire company through this annual meeting, let all employees see the company's future development prospects, and stimulate everyone's enthusiasm by rewarding some outstanding employees!"

After all, the company is a startup and there are still omissions in many aspects. Zong Xinyao just wants to take advantage of the annual meeting to paint a pie for the employees, but this pie is visible and tangible.

Only with unity can the company develop more rapidly. We already have branches in first-tier cities, and the rest are for second-tier cities. Zong Xinyao's goal is to promote reserve cadres internally and open up new markets.

For any worker, this is an opportunity to turn things around, and for Zong Xinyao it is also an opportunity to screen talents.

Su Chen also knows the importance of this matter. Only if employees can see room for advancement, the company has good development, and the treatment in all aspects is not bad, will they work harder.

"You can handle this matter as you wish. I've approved 10 million yuan for the event. If you want to hold it, you have to do it in a grand manner and give it a generous reward!"

"Also, don't play with the idea of ​​an internal appointment. The company doesn't need that little bit of money!"

Zong Xinyao did not expect Su Chen to be so generous and directly approved 10 million yuan for the event funds.

"Thank you, boss. On behalf of all the employees of Hanhai, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" With this 10 million event funds, Zong Xinyao can organize a grand annual meeting.

Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "This is what I should do!"

I glanced at the time and saw that more than half an hour had passed, and there was only about an hour left until the scheduled flight.

"Okay, it's getting late, and I'm going to the airport!"

"Boss, I'll leave first!" Zong Xinyao picked up the documents on the table and left quickly.

Looking at Zong Xinyao's departing back, Su Chen murmured to himself: "She is starting to win people's hearts. It seems that Zong Xinyao has really put a lot of thought into the development of Hanhai Group!" When Su Chen arrived at the garage, Fade Chen and Aunt Tang were having a happy chat.

As for the butler Jiang Hui, Su Chen did not plan to take him back this time. After all, Su Chen could not stay in the Magic City for two days, so he simply let him stay in the Imperial Capital to look after the house.

If his family members don’t come to the capital, let him pick any time to return to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year.

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily!" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Hey, sir, Auntie Tang is a grandmother, but she's still a big fat boy, weighing 18 pounds!" Fade Chen

"Hmm?" Su Chen looked at Aunt Tang's smiling face and sincerely wished her well: "Aunt Tang~ Congratulations on your "upgrade"!"

"Haha~ Congratulations!" Aunt Tang took out a red envelope from her pocket, handed it to Su Chen with both hands and said, "It's just a small red envelope, I hope you don't mind, sir."

Su Chen took it and said with a smile: "This is a good start! Why would I mind!"

After saying that, Su Chen put the small red envelope into the inner pocket of his coat.

"Let's go, it's getting late!"

Jiang Hui drove them to the airport. If Su Chen and the others had driven themselves, it's unknown how long the Rolls-Royce would have to stay in the airport garage.

Maybe it's because it's almost the end of the year, the airport seems particularly busy. When I drove past the airport gate just now, I saw dense crowds of people walking into the airport. From time to time, taxis and online-hailing cars stopped at the airport gate to drop off passengers.

When Su Chen and his friends arrived at the business airport, they found that even business airports were no exception. It was not crowded, but the waiting area was also full of people.

The apron that usually has only three or four planes was actually home to more than twenty small business jets today, and Su Chen's large private jet was particularly eye-catching.

Su Chen, who was about to take a step, stopped and looked at Jiang Hui behind him and said, "Old Jiang, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you think your family is willing to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year? If they are willing to come, I will cover all the expenses. If not, you can return to Hong Kong a few days in advance to reunite with your family, and all the expenses will be reimbursed from the reserve fund."

Jiang Hui's eyes turned slightly red when he heard this, and he said with a slightly choked voice: "Thank you, sir!"

Su Chen patted his arm and took Chen Fei and Aunt Tang to the security check.

After passing through the security gate and showing the staff the proof of the private jet, he walked in swaggeringly in the gaze of everyone.

"What's going on? Isn't it time yet? The fastest commercial flight is in an hour. What's going on with these people? They just walked in so brazenly?"

"We have been waiting for more than an hour. There is really no place to sit at the airport. Let's go and ask why we can't wait on the plane after spending all our money."

Many people in the business terminal were discussing quietly.

At this time, several passengers walked towards the security personnel angrily, and for a moment the focus of the small business lounge was on the security check area.

The staff looked at the angry crowd and were very calm. They knew that these people would at most ask some questions and would not dare to take any action. After all, people who can afford to take a business jet still have to have some face.

"I want to ask, we all paid, why can they go in as soon as they arrive, while we have to sit here and wait?"

"That's right. Why? You have to give us an explanation."

The staff laughed like pigs when they heard this, "Why? Because he has a private jet! If you had one, you could walk in openly, and I wouldn't stop you at all!"

"Private plane?" Several people looked through the glass curtain wall and vaguely saw Su Chen and his group boarding a large private plane.

He swallowed, feeling embarrassed, but a hint of relief flashed across his face.

Fortunately, the person who asked the question just now was the staff member. If that big guy was stopped, it would be like hitting a piece of iron or a special steel plate!
Under the strange looks from the staff, everyone quickly returned to their seats with their tails between their legs.

The conversation between the few people and the staff just now was quite loud, and almost all the passengers heard it. They looked at them as if they were clowns.

But I never thought that I also had a part in the discussion just now.

It’s a pity that Su Chen didn’t see this good show. The ugliness of human nature was fully displayed at this moment.

Shanghai Airport!

As soon as Su Chen got off the plane, he saw Pei Rang leaning against a Bentley looking around.

Seeing Su Chen coming down, he hurriedly trotted over to greet him.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Su Chen was speechless. He wanted to see him so much that he even went to the airport to block him.

"President Pei, you came to pick me up in person. I'm a little flattered!"

"Hehe~ I just miss my boss!" Pei Rang said seriously.

"Okay~ Get in the car. We can talk about it in the car if you have anything to say." Su Chen could tell at a glance that he had something to say to him, otherwise Pei Rang would not have come to the airport to pick him up.

The end of the year is a busy time, otherwise Pei Rang would not have called him to go back to Shanghai in advance, because there were many things he needed to ask Su Chen for instructions, as well as the company's annual summary, etc.

It can't be explained in just a few words.

As soon as he got in the car, Pei Rang's first words were, "Boss, there's no money in the company's account!"

Su Chen was also stunned. You know, there are more than 300 million yuan in Yunmengze Capital’s account. Excluding the more than 100 million spent on investing in Byte, there should be more than 100 million yuan left. Could it be that all the money was invested in two months?
"Tell me what happened!"

"Except for the 80 million the investment team has in the stock market, the company has less than 3 million in liquid funds left. The rest of the funds have all been used for investment."

"Currently, our company has invested in hundreds of companies, with 12 of them being wholly owned, 36 of them having more than 50% of shares, and the rest all ranging from 10% to 50%!"

"The industry covers all sectors, but because the investment time is too short, there is no return on investment yet." Pei Rang said as he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Su Chen.

After a quick look, I found that the content of the document was exactly the relevant information about each company, as well as the investment amount and shareholding ratio.

"Huh? This is Tianfu Cola, can you tell me what it is?" Su Chen saw a very familiar name. This was his childhood memory, but it disappeared later. He didn't expect to see it again one day.

"The story of Tianfu Cola is quite tragic. It developed very well in the early years and even became a beverage for state banquets. But with the entry of foreign capital and the cooperation with Pepsi, Tianfu Cola gradually faded out of the market."

"We also sued PepsiCo in the past two years and successfully got back the formula and process. It just so happened that a senior executive of the company went on a business trip to the Fog City some time ago, and Tianfu Cola just started PE (private equity investment), so we spent 20 million to get all the investment directly."

"We are currently preparing for the brand's comeback, it will happen in the next few days!"

Su Chen fell into deep thought after hearing this. In the early years, many high-quality domestic brands were invaded by foreign capital and eventually disappeared from sight. Now most of them are "struggling to survive"!
"This is a good thing. In the future, we should pay more attention to companies like Tianfu Cola that are suppressed by foreign capital! At least it shows that their products are enough to have an impact on those foreign capitals!"

Pei Rang smiled knowingly upon hearing this, "Hehe~ Boss, I guessed you would say that. Currently, many of the companies we control have managers similar to Tianfu Cola. We have invested a lot in companies like Vitality 28, Lotus MSG, and White Elephant."

"After receiving our investment, they are now rapidly expanding their production lines. I think we will see them show their talents this year!"

Su Chen glared at Pei Rang in anger, "You are trying to embarrass me on purpose, right? Pei Rang, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Boss, I am innocent!"

Su Chen did not follow Pei Rang to the company, but asked him to send him and his group back to Seaview No. 1. As for the company's matters, Su Chen postponed them to tomorrow.

　There was something wrong with my body. I don't know why, but I felt a vague pressure pain in my heart. I barely wrote one chapter.

　　I would like to say sorry to everyone here.
